Indoor Hose
I've been looking at this for years in various catalogs but only today did the penny drop and I realize that it really could be most useful in the home space.
From the website:

Indoor Hose

I'm reminded of something wonderfully funny — at least it was to me, and still is.
Back when I was a member of the anesthesiology faculty at the University of Virginia Medical School, we had weekly staff meetings during which we discussed all things department-related.
One day the chairman brought to us the results of the residents' evaluations of faculty and decided to read us selected ones, not mentioning the faculty members' names.
Anyhow, he's flipping through them, picking one out every now and then to read out loud, and he tells us there's one that particularly perturbs him.
So he reads it.
It's yada yada yada until he gets to the end: "I feel like there're two groups of residents in this department — the chosen... and the hosen."
I almost fell off my chair, I was laughing so hard.
I'm thinking, make this girl or guy chief resident 'cause here's someone I can work with.
Then I looked around and noticed no one else was laughing.
In fact, there weren't even any tight smiles.
Oops.
My bad.

Yeah I love those eval's~ I would have had to laugh too....=)) I love it...chosen or hosen. Guess we all know which ones we are then.
Must explain why I am fascinated with the garden hose then?? hahaha
Not too excited about a hose in the house yet. My luck would be one of the munchkins would find it and we would have a water fight in one of the bedrooms that needs the mattress flipped today.
Such is life....
